For a start she has to hold on to the edge of the pool and paddle her feet. She will not learn from you neither, as my husband didn't manage to teach me! Charmed it's the same thing with learning to drive, never let your husband teach you! our pool is big enough and the other end is not very deep, so she can start from that. but, we don't have baby pool though! so truth should at least look after you! he! he! he! call me anytime!

Oh to be young again! Mind you ONE bloke did offer to help me adjust my poolside lounger, this morning. Think he was the Life Guard - must have thought I was too weak and decrepid to do it myself! ROFL

if charmed went for lessons I would be there too, and it wouldnt be her in trouble it would be the instructor, its hard to teach swimming with a foot on your head keeping it under water apparently.

You haven't seen Charmed, male instructor will not resist her! she'll just get into trouble! Charmed if you have time, come and see my compound first then at least spend 1 hour a day to do swimming. I'm sure you'll learn how to swim very soon! just call me anytime!

this morning. He was teaching a girl to swim (late teens I guess). He just explained to her what to do - there was no touching or anything like that. Or are you just a little shy, charmed...

I am trying to go for a swim there, regularly, so if you need someone to accompany you then let me know.

I go back to UK beginning of July until mid-late August, but am around until then. I try to go very early to swim, cos of the fierce sun!

Try inquiring in Oasis Hotel. I went there with a few of my friends for swimming last year and I have noticed that there were a few kids and adults having a swimming class at that time but the instructor was male. You can probably inquire if they do have female instructors.

i was a club and competition swimmer, and life saver while I was at school....

Only problem is the pool though.... otherwise I would teach you...

At least then I know our swimming fantasy with Angie will be a safe one, and I won't have to worry about one of us drowning.... :-)

No teachers are required to learn swimming.First try to move your hands and legs once time.it is little hard to throw in once time but you will be successes with in few days After than go to swimming pool .you can swim little as frog .After some weeks you will be as a tadpoles and after some month you will be as fish.I learned like this .so i again say Practice makes a man/women perfect.

best regards
